A Modesto man was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of exposing himself to multiple woman, including high school-aged girls.

A woman in the area of Magnolia and West Orangeburg avenues in Modesto on Sunday jogged past a man sitting in his vehicle masturbating, according to Modesto Police Department spokeswoman Sharon Bear. The woman took a picture of the man’s vehicle and gave it to Modesto Police.

With the vehicle information, investigators identified the suspect as 28-year-old Devon Lee Harris and connected him with two similar incidents that occurred in September.

In both incidents, Harris was in his car and asked high school-aged girls for directions, Bear said. As the girls moved closer to his vehicle, Harris allegedly exposed himself and began masturbating.
